The first sentence didn't contain his rationale?

That's not from the first paragraph, and, at least to me, doesn't explain what he was getting at with it.

I'm taking issue with his first sentence, not second.

bproctor | karma 214 | avg karma 3.29 · | 2020-05-05 22:38:19+00:00

I thought he explained why not in the second paragraph.

golemotron | karma 1941 | avg karma 1.18 · | 2017-04-07 01:08:24

He alludes to a reason rather than saying it is the reason. That is the tell. He is not being completely forthright.

eru | karma 30335 | avg karma 1.29 · | 2010-04-11 23:25:59+00:00

He explains his reasoning in the next sentences.

vorotato | karma 753 | avg karma 1.22 · | 2016-09-09 21:48:42

Well the first part wasn't a rhetorical statement.

sidpatil | karma 1620 | avg karma 2.29 · | 2022-11-16 09:04:22

Fair point. He does describe his reasoning within the accompanying article though.

joe_hoyle | karma 93 | avg karma 2.58 · | 2012-12-29 00:03:08+00:00

tldr; he doesn't really explain why / if it is.

vruiz | karma 1050 | avg karma 3.86 · | 2018-03-17 23:08:57+00:00

I had to read that several times and I still can't understand his argument. Perhaps the phrasing didn't come out as he intended.

rcpt | karma 3546 | avg karma 2.89 · | 2022-10-31 10:48:00

He explained in his second sentence

thatguy0900 | karma 3237 | avg karma 2.01 · | 2021-03-16 01:13:01+00:00

It didn't read that way to me, he has already tried to explain it without an analogy

tptacek | karma 394296 | avg karma 6.04 · | 2023-01-25 20:39:53

It's not what #2 says, it's just why he was saying it.

Narishma | karma 3253 | avg karma 1.67 · | 2014-03-08 19:41:34+00:00

That's what he said, and he's asking why.

Re-reading the post: no I don't think I can reasonably interpret it so that that was his point.

aswanson | karma 5136 | avg karma 1.92 · | 2019-06-21 17:58:57

Obviously, but he stated it indirectly; the way he said it was as an aside. But you're right re: his motivations.

readyoubestbook | karma 11 | avg karma 1.57 · | 2022-06-22 16:27:10

Does he also mention why?

starkd | karma 2664 | avg karma 2.03 · | 2023-01-24 08:52:00

True. Not sure what he was trying to convey. It was just a paragraph. Not even an essay. So vague it makes you wonder if it was an AI response.

chordalkeyboard | karma 1123 | avg karma 0.86 · | 2020-11-20 01:02:58+00:00

Yes I did not share the context. He's relaying how he came to question those values he was advocating.

> that doesn’t actually represent my point of view at all

I'm guessing he made a brief remark that was changed into an entire article. If it was an interview he could've explained exactly what he meant.

He further mentions: "that doesn’t actually represent my point of view at all"

So it's not just about not being an interview, it's also about the content of the article.
